THE ECHO 17 NEW YORK TRIP The Senior Class of Sumner High School left the building at six o’clock l)y bus for Providence, R. I,, on the evening of April 21. There they hoarded the S. S. COMET bound for New York, and after a rather eventful, exciting evening arose refreshed in anticipation of a day’s sightseeing trip in the “Big City.” Breakfast in an Automat was an experience in itself. Then followed Fifth Avenue and the Empire State Building. From the top of the Empire State were seen various points of interest from the Battery to Central Park. Telegrams and telephone calls were made from the tower. A short shopping trip for souvenirs preceded a ride upstairs in a “rubberneck” bus along Fifth Avenue through the city to Riverside Drive. Some very interesting snapshots were taken on our way. A subway train brought all back to Grand Central Station and the New York Airlines Terminal. Lunchtime found the group at a res- taurant for a short while; then came Radio City with its exhibits in the Hall of Mechanical Devices and Photography. The final event of the day was a three-hour sightseeing ride. This was immensely interesting. Places of interest were Flatiron Building, Little Church around the Corner, The Bowery, China- town, Harlem, Riverside Drive, Grant’s Tomb, Aquariaum, homes of famous Americans, Woolworth Building, Chrysler Building, Wall Street, famous stores, Hotel St. Regis, Riverside Church, Palisades, penthouses, the Normandie, and the Swedish liner Kungsholm. In the aquarium an amusing sight was the feeding of the sea lions and the penguins. Dinner was served on board boat; this was followed by a general rush to see the skyline from the deck. Slightlv tired, the majority of the crowd went to bed early, giving our chaperons little trouble. Early in the morning the bus was waiting to bring the happy group home. The gracious chaperons. Miss Kathryn Megley, Miss Elna Knutson, Miss Miram West, Mr. Vincent Naverouskis, and Mr. William Sands proved as fun-loving and excited as the seniors. This is the first time in the history of Sumner High that a senior class has gone to New York, and every Senior will admit that no other trip could ever have been so enjoyable. BRIDGE AND WHIST PARTY To Help Finance the New York Trip The Senior Class held a successful Bridge and Whist Party in the High School Hall cn April 15. Prizes for the best bridge and the best whist players were awarded; there was also a prize for the person who held the lucky ticket taken at the door and one for the person who selected the right number. Enough money was materialized to furnish transportation for the Senior Class to and from Providence.
